They used to go in a generic -dbg package. I'm thinking about rrdtool, and it already has a lot of packages: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rrdtool I'm considering creating a specific python-rrdtool-dbg package. Other options I can think of are: - Put the debug .so file into the main python-rrdtool package no, that would add dependencies on the python-dbg packages by default. - Do not migrate to new style -dbgsym packages and keep everything in rrtool-dbg, like it is now. that would be my preferred solution. - Stop bothering about this debug .so file, and trash it. please don't.
